Vintage objects, curious finds and a Sunday hunt for something with a past.
The plan
This seasonal market is for browsing slowly. Dealers bring antiques, collectibles and twentieth-century objects to Lincoln Road, making it an interesting outing even if you leave empty-handed. Look closely at materials, condition and the story a seller can tell rather than rushing to buy the first appealing piece. It is a different event from the weekly farmers market: the antique market follows selected Sundays during its October-to-May season, not every Sunday of the year.
Check the real date
The organizer describes an approximately every-other-Sunday calendar, with the current season beginning October 11, 2026 and running through May 9. Its interactive calendar is the place to confirm individual dates; we do not turn that approximate rhythm into invented scheduled events.
Browsing and buying
Walking the public market is free; dealers set prices for purchases. The organizer points drivers toward parking between Lenox and Michigan Avenues. Allow space to carry a purchase, ask about condition and provenance, and check weather updates before making a special trip.
Before you go
Confirm the selected Sunday first. A vintage hunt is more enjoyable when you arrive expecting discovery rather than one guaranteed item.
